The plants are cultivated for the 
leaves which are used for “greens,” 
the same as spinach or beet-tops; 
they are equal in quality and easier 
to prepare than spinach, and far 
superior to beet-tops. Sow as early in 
spring as the ground can be worked, 
in rows 12 inches apart, and thin out 
to 5 inches apart in the rows. As it 
grows, thin out for use. It can be 
used all summer when spinach is not 
available. 
Mammoth New York. This is a 
— new and 
quite distinct sort, medium green in color, 
and of large size. The leaves are smooth, and 
the stalks are solid, thick, and of a pearly 
whiteness. Careful breeding has entirely eliminated the 
earthy flavor which many Chards possess. We anticipate 
a large demand for this variety. Pkt. 15 cts., V 2 OZ. 30 cts.,

from 10 to 12 inches long below the leaf. The extra-large 
leaves are sharply pointed at the top, while in texture they 
are heavily crumpled. The leafy portion of the foliage is 
cooked and served in the same manner as spinach. The 
leaves and stalks, served as separate vegetables, afford two 
distinct dishes from the same plant at one time. Pkt.
